CONFIGURING IPV4
INTERFACE SETTINGS
Use the System > IP (Configure Interface – Add Address) page to
configure an IPv4 address for the switch. An IPv4 address is obtained via
DHCP by default for VLAN 1. To configure a static address, you need to
change the switch’s default settings to values that are compatible with your
network. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between the
switch and management stations that exist on another network segment.
You can direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP
server, or manually configure a static IP address. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything other
than this format will not be accepted.

◆ IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (User Specified), Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled,
